Back from Hawaii

The trip to Hawaii was nice. I didn't pass out from coughing or anything. I got to feeling better most of the time while there. There were a couple episodes of walking in the evening where the reduced lung capacity was a chore, but I'm doing much better, and I'm really happy that I went on the trip.

When we arrived on Thursday evening, the pilot said that it was 73 degrees. Perfect! Or so I thought. I stepped into the open air airport, and the humidity hit me hard. Wow, I forgot how much I can't stand humidity!

They were having a series of unusual storms while we were there. When I got up in the morning and saw on the news that rains had closed some schools, it seemed like more than "just" a tropical rainstorm. For the most part, the rain was off and on during the trip. It was "off" enough of the time to enjoy it. I did see Oahu weather mentioned on CNN news, so it was a bit of a deal.

More about the trip later. I was uncomfortable and didn't sleep on the redeye back this morning. I got in a few hours sleep after coming home, but I've been pretty cranky today. A good night's sleep tonight should help.

Maholo nui loa to bigjohnsf for posting about the super deal and for arranging things to do there! Also thanks to bigredpaul for driving to and from SFO!
